Introducing Pawpaw Fruit for Small Orchards

• Saturday, September 23, 2023, 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County will be hosting a workshop on pawpaw fruit for small-scale producers interested in establishing an orchard. The workshop will touch on the unique characteristics of the fruit, best growing practices, potential markets, current challenges, and establishing a working group for pawpaw growers. The workshop will also include a farm tour of a small pawpaw planting recently established at a U-pick operation just outside the village of Mexico, NY.

The workshop location will be at CiTi BOCES school campus in the village of Mexico, NY. Speakers will be Joshua Vrooman, Ag Educator for CCE Oswego County, Anya Osatuke, CCE Harvest NY Berry Specialist, and Griffin Erich, a student at Cornell University specializing in pawpaw fruit. All three presenters spoke at last year’s NYS Pawpaw Conference and will be giving an overview of the fruit for anyone interested in establishing a small orchard. 

Online registration is required and is limited to 30 people maximum.
